This Low-cost Carrier Has Flights to Canada Starting at $1 — Seriously
29.08.2024 - 16:57 / travelandleisure.com
Airfare sales are nothing new, but one low-cost carrier is taking it to an extreme.
Flair Airlines, a low-cost Canadian airline, recently announced it would be discounting their base fares to just one (Canadian) dollar on select routes from Cancun, Orlando, Las Vegas, and Puerto Vallarta to Canada.
While the fare may only be one dollar, the taxes and fees total approximately $15.14 per flight segment, including security and government fees. The base fares do not include any baggage, so travelers with a personal item, checked luggage, and carry-on luggage will need to add a bundle, which can be as much as $56. This is a similar pricing model that has been adopted in the United States by airlines such as Frontier, Spirit, and Allegiant which offer basic economy fares without any frills.
The airline also has massively discounted fares across its extensive network for flights to and from the U.S.
Travel + Leisure spotted additional fares in Canadian dollars from the United States to Canada including:
While the fare sounds too good to be true, the airline’s leadership says it is a viable business decision and will offer value to consumers.
“This $1 base fare launch is not a limited-time gimmick but a sustained commitment to offering unparalleled affordability across our entire network,” Flair Airlines CEO Maciej Wilk said in a release.
Flair is Canada's third-largest airline, and offers flight routes to 35 different markets internationally. The airline was founded in 2015 and maintains a fleet of Boeing 737 planes. The discounted flights come at a time where tourism to Canada continues to increase. Over 74.5 million people traveled to Canada in 2023, which is 1.5 times higher than the previous year. Visits from the United States also increased 51.8 percent, according to Canadian Tourism statistics.
